Coffee is a leading export from several developing countries. When coffee prices are high, farmers often clear forest to plant more coffee trees. Here are data on prices paid to coffee growers in Indonesia and the rate of deforestation in a national park that lies in a coffee-producing region for five years. Price (cents per pound) Deforestation (percent) 25 0.31 49 1.69 60 1.66 55 1.7 68 3.31 (a) Make a scatterplot. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn this in.) Which is the explanatory variable? What kind of pattern does your plot show? Price is the explanatory variable. The plot shows a negative linear association. Price is the explanatory variable. The plot shows a positive linear association. Price is the explanatory variable. The plot shows no linear association. Deforestation is the explanatory variable. The plot shows a positive linear association.

The plot shows a positive linear association. Price is the explanatory variable.

*See attachment for the scatterplot of the data

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of deforestation is dependent on the price of coffee. Therefore, the explanatory variable is the price of coffee, which affects rate of deforestation.

The response variable is the rate of deforestation. The rate of deforestation is influenced by the price of coffee.

When plotting a scatter plot, the values for the explanatory variable are plotted on the x-axis, while the response variables are plotted on the y-axis.

The data given below is what we would use in plotting the scatterplot shown in the attachment:

Explanatory variable, X, (Price, cents per pound) => Response variable, Y, (deforestation, %)

25 => 0.31

49 = > 1.69

60 => 1.66

55 => 1.7

68 => 3.31

The scatterplot graphed as shown in the attachment shows a positive linear relationship between price of coffee and rate of deforestation. As price increases, rate of deforestation also increases.

the correct answer is x/3+10≥32

hope this !

do you have a picture of the table
